He no longer played in yesterday’s game against Barcelona, which Zenit won by 74:70. Before the match, it was announced that only Austin Hollins and Anton Pushkov were infected with the coronavirus, but at the end of the match, Zenit coach Xavi Pascual revealed that COVID-19 had been determined for four basketball players.
According to Euroleague protocol, Gudaitis will have to spend 14 days in isolation and will be able to return to the field only after two consecutive negative coronavirus tests.
The 27-year-old Lithuanian will miss at least two Euroleague matches. Next week, Zenit will play Baskonia in Vitoria and Valencia in Spain.
This is the third Lithuanian in the Euroleague infected by the coronavirus. Before that, COVID-19 was established for Šarūnas Jasikevičius and Darius Maskoliūnas who were working in Barcelona.
Gudaitis played a Euroleague match, when in a victorious duel with Istanbul’s Anadolu Efes he scored 7 points, bounced 5 balls and blocked 3 shots.
